Today, I'm gonna show you a really easy way to peel potatoes.
If you got a pile of potatoes, using a conventional peeler can be time consuming and boring.
So here's a clever little trick which makes the whole process quicker and a bit more fun.
Start by taking a sharp knife
and carefully run the blade around the middle of the potato, like this
Then put it in a pan, ready to boil
We're looking to run the blade just through the skin, like this
but not to deep into the potato
do be careful not to cut yourself
on trying to get the line to meet up the other side
Do this with all the potatoes you want to boil
and put them all into the pan
then take the pan
put it on the stove
add some boiling water from your kettle
and leave to potatoes to cook
When they're ready, drain the water into another pan and keep the potatoes in the first one
run the pan under some cold water for a few seconds
till they're just cool enough to pick up
You should be able to see the cut mark all the way around the potato
Next, use your fingers and gently pull the skin off
Then turn it around and to the same on the other side
and there we have a really easy way to peel a potato
pretty cool, huh?
Using this method, you can peel all this potatoes really quickly
An although they cold down just enough to pick them up
They're still really hot under the surface
but if you like
You can tip them back in the hot water we saved earlier
to heat them up again
